Sometimes all you need is professional tooth whitening to give you the smile you deserve for the holidays. Professional tooth whitening can lighten your teeth up to ten shades, and best of all, you’ve got just enough time to get it done before the New Year.

What is Professional Tooth Whitening?

Unlike those over the counter strips, pastes, rinses, one size fits all trays and tooth whitening gels; professional tooth whitening is much stronger. When used as directed by Dr. David Schaefer, your teeth will look brighter and be much healthier.

If you are a good candidate for professional tooth whitening, you must be free from tooth decay and gum disease, an impression will be taken of your teeth. When the impression is made, clear plastic custom made whitening trays will be manufactured. When your trays are ready, your dentist in Independence will prescribe you a tooth whitening gel that you will use as per his instructions.

Worn every night, or thirty minutes during the days, the professional whitening products from your Independence dentist are safe and work. You will not be tempted to use too much product with professional tooth whitening from your Missouri dentist.

Why Is Professional Tooth Whitening Better?

Although tooth-whitening products purchased from your local pharmacy may be cheaper, they will not be if you do not follow instructions to the letter. If you overuse those products, you will be rewarded with sensitive teeth. Some people who overuse whitening products have permanently damaged their teeth. That permanent damage will need to be repaired costing you much more than that box of tooth whitening strips.

The Problem with Over the Counter Tooth Whitening Products

Over use causes sensitive teeth, which usually subsides after you stop whitening your teeth. However, avoiding hot and cold food and drinks isn’t the only side effect from over whitening. See through, chalky teeth and permanent enamel damage have also been reported. Your best bet for a brighter safer smile is professional tooth whitening.
